I've used it in 20+mile day hikes in Nepal, fits a 3 litre camelback and lots of room for whatever you need.

It depends on how you pack your gear, but it isn't bad. I wouldn't want to take it on a 10 mile hike, but for taking out into the desert or woods to shoot, you can carry it a bit. Just make sure the heavy stuff is stacked towards the lower part/small of your back. Higher up it sways to much.

Hello, I'm 6'4 and I bought this pack last year for a hiking trip to the Poconos. Loved it. comfortable to wear and hold a lot of stuff. I had enough stuff packed in it to get me through 4 - 5 days. You shouldn't have any trouble.

The Osprey 14 is a great hydration and mountain biking backpack. I only had one leak issue when I did not take care to thread the lid properly. If done correctly there are no leak issues. I've hit overhead branches and crashed a couple of times without a single leak.

Kelty makes great gear, not the lightest but definitely well made and tuff.. I have 6 of their packs. I use this bag as my "grab-n-go " bag . Perfect size for everything I think I would need in an emergency. I use the smaller 2600 for day hikes and the larger 5400's for multi- day hikes. This pack main compartment huge and easy access and side pockets are perfectly placed for easy access to a nalgene water bottle, snacks, t.p. or rain gear. Overall this is a highly recommended pack for a GNG, BOB, or GTFO pack... if you have to ask then just pick up a pack next time your in Wal-Mart. ..

This pack will be great for a hike of that duration. My wife and I used one each on an overnight hike bringing WAY more than we needed and they were excellent.

Sorry, the listing doesn't say and I do not know how to measure it in Liters (I googled, didn't bring up anything). I thought it was big enough for a full day's amount of stuff, including rain jacket/pants, small jacket, with room to spare. I was able to stuff an XL womens *heavy* fleece jacket in the main cavity with nothing else, and it filled only 1/2, maybe 2/3 of the space (But I never bring that jacket traveling, too bulky ... I use Montbell lightweight down or thermal jackets which compress very small). Wish there was a shoulder day bag as well organized as this backpack.

Yes it's a great over the shoulder bag I use it for outtings hiking and anything like that it will fit a first aid kit and iter stuff that you would need for a couple hours on the trails it's a great buy

I would say it is FAIR. Enough for light hikes. I used the capacity to carry beach towel, change of clothes, a book, sunglasses, and other knick-knacks. For an overnight camp-out, I would say too small. Perhaps the 45l would be better.

I always take this bag on vacation trips. Some of our longer hikes are 2-3 hrs long. I have no problems with shoulder or back pain. The backpack fits snuggle against my back and moves with my body, unlike regular backpacks that will swing back and forth. I packed a DSLR with 55mm lens, a 55-200mm lens, battery charger, and a simple lens cleaning kit in main compartment. I put wallet and keys in upper compartment. This is small bag, so don't expect to carry a lot with it.

It'll definitely fit. And is probably a good pack to get if you are going to want to travel for a while on a slightly smaller pack. I took this backpacking for a 10 weeks and it was great to not have a lot of stuff. Also, the pack is adjustable. You'll be fine.

Indeed, this backpack is so comfortable that I used to carry it for more than 6 hours daily. I did hiking on Peru and the straps on the chest and waist helped me to relief the weight. It is important to note that the camera and tripod takes almost all space in the backpack. The only extra space tat you have is the pockets in the back and the pocket for water bottles.

if it is overstuffed, it may be too long. I have had friends use theirs as carry on, but I did not attempt to. It is a smaller (higher than a chair back) pack and very lightweight though.

Kind of. Length wise yes, however it will be difficult to close. The button on mine is very weak and pops right off. I still bought it because I got no other way to put it in the backpack. Leather and stitching are rather good. I am assuming here the 7750 is the hiker size with the orange/black handle.

I use mine for 3 night hikes, with my hammock, sleeping bag(in a compression sack, otherwise it wouldnt fit), stove, water filter, etc. Anymore than 3 nights i would suggest the next size up but i always push myself to go lightweight

I carry two 3.0 liter hydration packs inside the pouch and they fit well. There are exit points for both drinking straws as well. One on each side at the top of the pack. I have never went thirsty on my long hikes and even had water when there wasn't a source of water in the area I was hiking. You can't go wrong buying this pack.

My border collie uses this backpack while we are walking, to carry a few of his things. It is durable, and fits well enough, you have to even out each side weight wise, or it will not sit correctly on the dog. Other than that, it fills and gets quite heavy if wet, so take it off if the chance to jump in the lake happens. Hope this helps
